COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. ANOTHER FIRE. The rope-hoe or Mr. Wm Bannister, rope-maker, was burnt down on Monday last. The fire is supposed to have been occasioned by a bny in his employ smoking a pipe in the hemp-loft during the dinner hour of that day. A numerous body of people was soon on the 'not, but from the inflammable nature of the articles on the premises, together with the build ings being of wood covered with thatch, they could render but trifling andataace ; the stores, with groat part of the stock of hemp and rope, with the machinery, wore destroyed. We re gret to say that no part of it was insured ; and but for the kindness of his fellow-townsmen, en industrious man, with a "arge family. would be involved in utter ruin—which should be a wanting to all others similarly situated, to insure their property, as their neighbours, after having paid for securing their own property, ought not to be called on (except under very peculiar circumstances, of which this perhaps is one) t, naakc good the losses of others, who through negligence, or for the sake of ,aving a few shillings, annually run such risks. It is to be regretted that the h'avy duties on assurances from fre should be a bar to many availing: themselves, to a greater extent than they now do, of these very valuable institutions ; and we hope all Will exert themselves to get so very impolitic and unjust a tal repealed. • Twu hundred teen were paid on Thursday for the services they rondered in getting the late fire at the Sloop trader, of which Mr. Eames, the proprietor, gave 10/., the " Sun" 71., and tie .° Brash" 5/. We ars c,rry we cannot add the names of other Fire-offices which were equally interested, and that the amount was made up by private The subscription towards the new fire engine proceeds favourably: Ihe "Norwich" has given 101., the " London" la, end the " Sun" has acted with its usual liberality. Many other offices having property in this town insured in them to a large amount, have not yet subscrihed any thing; but if they do not act more liberally, they will be the greatest losers, as the it.surancee etFected with them will be rern,ved to mere liberal companies. The new engine for this town has been ordered of Messrs. Tilly and Co. The season is unusually mild—more like April than any gther month. Tlne meadows have put on their green cots, beautifully spangled with daisies—a sight never before seen et this season, has been common to us at the close of the old, and commencement of the new year. %Ire, have this; day been visited by so dense a fog, as to pre, went the st?%m sailin4 vessels leaving this port for &oft, sanpt , m, IZyck, and Portsmouth. • - Cowes, Jan. 5. 1836.

O'CGNNF.Lt..—Mr. O'Connell is quite recovered, aid, as the best proof of it, he is ta attend a rneetiag of the Trades to-morrow, to address aeri again on the subject of Combination. The subject of Combination is indeed eacitinq great attention here. Not only have there been meetiags of the tradesmen with Mr. O'Connell, and against hire, but counter-meetings of employers, and protests of some .f ths-artizans themselves. To-morrow's meeting is etpsetecf to be air important one, and I shall take care to send you the proceedings. GLIIRNAL BROWNR.-1 perceive that a writer in the Morn if:a Post has thought, fit to make a paragraph about this lest letter to The Sun, the subject of much silly gossip aesl misrepresentation. It is stated that a publication conductesii by Browne here, was made the medium of a series of attaela upon everything Protestant, and the means of cre ating a 4omestle reign of terror. It is but fair to state in reply to this, that the scurrillity of the Cora was directed quite as ritual' against the L'boral or Catholic party, as against the Tory or Protestant, and that Broane arid the majority of h:a wiociates, were members of the established church. Whether or no, the writer and the Geaeral be the one man, is yet uncertain, and indeed, the indisiduallty of the Canadian commander seems as great a riddle, as how certain "talented but giddy young men." who according to your tea table con temprary„wrote the Parson's Horn BVA could have only pro duced a tissue "infamous trash."

To make the affair appear more probable, it :vas stated a collection would be made for the benefit of this modern Scarus.

(►F THE PUBLIC JOURNALS• A di-patch was received yesterday from Sir John Col borne, dated the 7th of December last, which will be found is our extracts from last night's Gazelle. Annexed to the dispatch is a rr port of Colonel Gore, dated Montreal, Dec. 7, detailing his operations from the 30th of November, the date of his arrival at Sorel. At St. Hyacinthe Col.. Gore was cecompaeied by Mensieur Crenier, the parish priest, who gave him eve: y informative in his power, and whose opinion it was that the ha;itans had begun to see their folly, and that they had been grossly misled. They had reterned to their homes in the whole of the counties be tween the Richelieu and the Yamiska, and given every as sistance required for transport. The Cure called an as sembly of the principal inhabitants, and addressed them with greet eloquence on the artful designs of their leaders, and their own fel!) , in being seduced from their alle ,eiance. It appears, in short, that order has been in a ereat measure restored on the Richelieu. The intelligence from Upper Canada, rhich we published only in n peat of our impression yesterday, can hardly have taken by sur prise any one who has paid wtention to the accounts from Toronto for some time past. A diversion has been at tempted in the Upper Province, the complete failure of which will be best understood from the details which will be found in another column. Upon the sth the rebels, by a boll arid sudden movement, succeeded in partially occupying Toronto. In twenty four hours, however, an overwhelming mass rf the Loyal Volunteers completely routed the insurgent force, driving them from the town in the lamest confmion. The most gratifying intelligence, -however, that has reached us is that received by her Ma jesty's Gov •rnment respecting the determination of the Unitei States. We are happy to observe, from the fair and impartial tone of all th© respectable portion of the Press of the Unitrd States, that the attempt to excite a feeling of sympathy in behalf of the Canada rebelshascompletely f tiled. That this honourable feeling should have universally pre vailed amongst all the 'inhabitants of the States was not, however, to he expected ; and to prevent the inconvenience that must result Eorn the violation of a strict neutrality, representations vier° made upon the subject to the Ameri can Government. The promptitude and the candid spirit in which they were met reflect the highest credit upon the executive of the United States. We have no doubt that the precautions which have been already taken, w:11 secure the loyal inhabitants of Canada from any inconvenience that might bare been anticipated from the interference of any portion of the inhabitants of the United States. We. understand that Sir J. Colborne describes the spirit of the country through which the troops from New Brunswick passed on their march as being loyal and enthusiastic to a degree. Everywhere a disposition was manifested to assist them and forward their objects by every means in the power of the people. It is peculiarly Worthy of remark, that in this good and loyal work the aid of the Catholic clergy was found to be exceedingly efficient.—ellorning Chronicle. Since we last noticed the performances of Mr. Joseph Hume, who occupied the professor's chair of what mane persona consider high treason, but the most charitable call misprision of treason, at the far-famed Crown and Anchor, last Thursday, we have received a version of his sentiments, more faithful no doubt, and far more unequivocal, than any with which that leather-headed economist, that garrulous growler, and niggardly amateur of rebellion, has yet fa voured any public meeting of Englishmen. We stated in the Times of yesterday how difficult it was to attach with certainty a definite meet-dog to the farrago of Kilkenny Jo seph. But what puzzled us was plain enough,it seeses,to those deeper in the confidence of the ex-Middlesex Reformer. Mr. lltKenzirehis friend and correspondent, has con:trued tile twaddle of this parsimonious patriot in its right signifi cation. He has translated words into deed, and vociferous bullying into flat rebellion. Yes, Mr. M'Kenzie, the bo som friend of Mr. Joseph Hume, and fellow-conspirator against " the baleful dominion of Great Britain," has expounded more simply and manfully than Joseph the final purpose of their joint apostrophes to " justice," " concilia tion," " liberality," and so forth ; for, without the slightest shadow of pretence to a common case, or common " grie vances" with Lower Canada, this honest and loyal citizen, of the sth of December, 1837, just one month, attacked the Quern of England's town of Toronto, the seat of Go vernment of her Majesty's province of Upper Canada ; and by the suddenness and violence of this act of h:gh treason drove the intrepid Governor (Sir Francis Head), with the small band of loyalists who could be got together at a minute's notice, into the market-house for shelter. This is the comment of M'Kenzie upon Hume ! This first act of downright rebellion—this audacious outbreak of open war upon Queen Victoria, is the text-book of re ference to which we naturally turn for the meaning and ob jects of certain superfine phraseology one hears about the " shedding of human blood," the horrors of civil war," the " blessings of peace," and the " dutiful and loyal dispositions of all Canadian patriots It is to us a matter of some, though melancho"y, satisfaction, that since the appetite for rebellion has existed—since the project of re bellion was actually formed—it should not have in secret smouldered longer than it hes done, but should by out bursting", have made a timely disclosure of who in Canada were unambiguous traitors, and who in this country were prepared to be the " comforters" and encouragers of high treason. There is some advantage, though often a painful one, in determining who are our enemies.. Upon that ques tion, therefore, the Queen of England need no longer be at any loss--as little need the loyal portion of C.e people of this great country. We all know for whose sake it is, and in deference to whose advice it is.that England, being de jureand de facto mistress of those vast North Arnetiran pos- sessions, has been assailed by an armed band of despe radoes in the very heart of her own acknowledged sove reignty, and that a civil war, excited by these very rebels, is charged as an atrocious critic, not on its Canadian authors, —not upon its English allies, but upon us, the British na tion, who are i's destined victims! But enough upon the English ex t ra y asm sciyi and iniquities connected this, unhappy rebellion. Those of which Canada has b.-en the field (though Euglsnd was the hot-bed) are likely to mat a prompt and condign punishment. It was known already by intelligence received before yesterday, that the insurgents of Lower Canada no loner showed themselves embodied, cse itt arms—that the neighbourhoods of the Richelieu and the entire district of Montreal were not only freed from open hostilities, but brought back to apparent quiet—and the Gazette of last night containe to a certain extent offi cial confirmation of this statement. Yesterday brought news of mush importance. Ist. With regard to Loner Canada, that Lord Gosford had, en the sth ult. issued a pro clamation enforcing martial law throughout the district of Montreal,hut confining the terrors of this highly penal proce dure to that province alone, 2d. Concerning Upper Canada. We have already stated that Toronto vrasattacked on the sth of December, and great part of the town carried an 1 • briefly occupied by the rebels, Sir Francis Head, in full reliance on the predominant loyalty of his countrymen, having despatched every regular soldier from the Uppsr Province to the support of the Queen's Goverameut in Lower Canada. It would appear, however, that Sir Francis lied 114 d not calculated loosely, or on fragile grounds, the moral resources which were left at his dis posal, after all his eatery means had been so bravely re linquished. He contrived to rally round him volunteer loyalists in such numbers, and with so much promptitude, that on the Gth of December, the vary day after Mon treal had been in a manner stormed by M'Kenzie and his horde, Sir Francis in his turn attacked the in surgents, who had retreated some miles into the country, and according to a variety of statements, coming through different channels, he soon defeated and dispersed them, following up his sue Lass by the offer of largo rewards for the capture of WKsnzie, Gibson, Lount, and Fletcher, sell reputed to he Chiefs of the tapper Canada insurgents. It seems quite el..ar fro:n these several accounts, that the Queen's Colonial Government has in no degree been stag gend or cowed by the assaults- and dangers which press upon it. If Sir F. Head, unaided by any regular troops whatever, has been able, with the mere support of the loyal gentlemen in his neighbourhood, to repel at once the systematic invasion of a strong corps of regimented rebels, we trust that there is net muc fear of his increasing his force more successfully and rapidly than the traitors. The train questions for both provinces are these :—Can the Royal Commanders hold out until the arrival of rei forcements towards the end of April ? Is Lily a stria portion of each province infected with the mutinous spirit.? If so all is safe. If not, there is nothing safe ; hardly anything we suspect retrievable, but at a cost and with efforts the most gigantic. The President of the United States has formally and emphatically announced that he will enforce against all citizens of the Republic, whoever they may may be, or on whatever side in politics, the laws wide.; subject to fine and imi.risonment those who violate the obligation of the United States to a course of strict neutrelity in the internal disputes of foreign na tions. We trust tl.is policy of M. Van Buren will b e eon _ svicatiqusly mainta:ned io prate cc, but the letter of our in telligent correspondent, the " Geneve.a Travell_r," shows that there may be circumstances which may cxe:te the people of the United States into a fervotir of sympathy with the Canadians beyond the controlling power of the Ameri can Government. But we do not apprehend that our Co lonial Governors arc likely to disgrace themselves or ,the name of Englishmen by any see critics bey on d what ,the ptitiftel necessity of the case may demand. 'rime day for " unusual and sanguinary punishments" is, thank God, gone for ever.—Times. • Perhaps a more remarkable instance of the meeting of extremes cannot be adduced than that of Colonel Sibthorp and Mr. home, both of whom, in different cases, strenuously contend for the reduction of the Pen sion List. Mr. Home's exertions on this subject cannot excite surprise, his whole parliamentary life having been devoted to the object with more unremitting zeal and suc cess than ever distinguished the career of any other popular THE SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6. 1838. representative ; but. that Colonel SilAltorp, tl.e ldust..ring, and brainless partis.m of Tory profl4acy, should come forward to pr , pose a reduction of the public burdens, , oust at first sight naturillv excite astonishment ; thcugn, wht'n the cause is explained, the wonder must cease. The gallant Colonel has directed his opposition egainst the grant of an increase of some eight thou:and pou: - :ds to ' the annuity or the Duchess of Kent, because, forsooth, that illustrious personage had the noble hardillood to educate her Royal dau;litcr aloof from the corrupt associations of Toryism. A greater offence could !lot be committed against the oil propensities of faction, and therefore, as it has ever been the custom of the Tories to make grants of the public meney to those whose conduct has been for the most part detrimental to the pub lic interests, it is not surprising that they should endeavour to curtal a grant proposed in return for a service so im portant as that of preserving the mind of the youthful So vt reign uncontaminated by Tory predilections. Colonel S.btborp lu.s, therefore, acted consistently with the tactics Of ►:is allies, hoaever they may disclaim participation in a course of conduct which, though in perfect accordance with their principles, places their motives i❑ a light of such umnitigated iniquity, that even to themselves they cannot reconcile the atrocity of the intention. Far dif , ftrent, however, is that reducti;,n proposed by Mr. to which we more . immediltely refer. This truly patriotic cccnomist has :given notice of a motion for the rescinding of the pension -20,0001.—0 f his Msjesty of Hanover. What services this Royal personage reidereti to the country which blushes to cektiowleage hire, it would be difficult to detail. But, whatever these ser vicz..s, Colonel Sibthorp is bound to support the motion of Mr. Hume, as his Grace of Gamberiand has, by the rule proposed in reference to the Duchess of Kent—resid:ng out of tlit country—independently of far more weighty consi . . Aerations, forfeited all elaim to a pension from the revenue of England. It is even inconsistent with his position as an independent Sovereign to be a pensioner on the bounty of another state. We shall not at present enter upon the numerous other reasons which might be adduced against the con.inuance of this pension, though, if need be, %re shall press them forcibly on public attention ; but on the grounds chosen by the doughty champion of Toryism himself, we call upon his coadjutors to second Mr. Hume's proposition to relieve the King of Hanover from the degradation of being a pensioner of England—of a nation that abhors him. —.ll.lornii.g Advertiser. The official returns of the revenue for the year and quar ter ended last night, have been received, and will be found in detail in another part of this paper. Upon the feee of these tables it will be seen that the public receipts for the last 12 months have fallen short of those of the correspond ing period of the preceding year by no less than 1,900,3331. This is a remarkable difference, but it is to be recollected that the returns for the last quarter of 1836, showed an ex less over those of the antecedent year of no less than two millions and a half, so that the contrast with so ususually favourable an account as that of last year is unfortunate for the present. Upon the quarter there appears an increase of 213,173/. The loss of public income is chiefly observable under the head of the " Excise," which has fallen off, upon a compari son of the year, to the amount of 949,836/., and upon the quarter, to 212,9001. The " Customs" pre sent an increase upon the quarter amounting to 453,3401., but a deficiency upon the year of 890,1561. The revenue for stamps has declined upon the year and quarter to the amount of 318,2681., and 29,1291. respectively. In the produce from assessed taxes the falling off is uniform upon the year and quarter, the first being less by 12,015/., and the latter by 15,6321., than on the corresponding periods of last year. Under the miscellaneous taxes there is a de ficiency of 5,894/. upon the year, and 9,6991. upon the quarter. But the " repayments" of pub'ie money have in creased upon the year by 248,0711., and the quarter 1931, upon the preceding accounts. The Post-effice returns show au improved revenue of 27,7431. for the year, arid of 27,000/. for the quarter. The amount to be raised by Ex chequer Bills for the service of the current quarter is esti mated at 5,878,545/.—Moreierg Herald. The intelligence received by the Oxford packet-ship from New York, the most important features of which we yesterday laid before our readers, is chiefly interesting on account of the proof it affords of the loyalty of the inha bitants of Lipprr Canada, and of the indications it presan's of the disposition and prob:ible conduct of the Government and people of the United States in reference to the strug gle between lawful authority and treasonable violence in the Lower Province. The further extracts from the American Journals to which we this day give insertion will be found to shed additional light upon both of these important sub jects. Tho reckless and frentic enterprise of Mr. MtKen zie and the desperadoes wham he had contrived to gather around him at Torunto would have been altogether unmoor thy of notice, but that it has furnished an opportuulte to the people of Upper Canada to demonstrate their fidelity and attachment to Great Britain in a manner equally ho nourable to themselves, and gratifying to every loyal subject of the Parent State, whatever region of the globe he may inhabit. If ray thing more than their own ttickedness and folly had been required, to draw down the general reprobation and contempt of mankind upon the shallow declairners of the Crown and Anchor Tavern, the noble and overwhelming reply to their sense less and unprincip l ed misrepreseetations which the loyal subjects of the British Crown leid already given, by antici pation, at Toronto, would have sunk them into deeper in famy, and exposed them to more boundless indignation and scorn. It is gratifying to lease that the Governnant of the United States has publicly adopted on this occasion the language, and taken the official steps, which its rela tions with the Government of Great Britain and the re cogni:ed principles of international law imperatively pro scribed. The President has declared his determination to maintain, a strict and honest neutrality, and has issued orders the most distinct and explicit to the pubic officers in the States nearest in geographical position to the Canaries to enforce the laws which have been wisely enacted to present individual subjects, or any combination of them, from thwarting and defeating the policy and justice of the State.. It would be ungracious and unjust, with the evi dence now before us, to doubt the sincerity of the American Government in its declared resolution to remain neutral in this unfortunate contest. If we feel any remaining anxiety upon this subject it arises solely from the appre hension that, in the event of popular enthusiasm being strernely eacited among that part of the people of the United Statss aho are the immediate neighbours of the insurgent Canadians, the wishes and the policy of the federal Govern ment may, to a considerable and very mischievous extent, be disre warded. Some estimate may be formed of this danger ' feasts the proceedings and resolutions of a public meeting et Buffalo, which was very numerously attended, and at which much warmth of feeling on behalf of the rebels was exhibited. We have extracted an account of :hese proceedings from a New York paper, and if the temper they displ cy be an accurate criterion of ti e general fee ing in that pert of the Union, it will cst-tainly be a trou blesome and difficu't, if not an impracticable, task for the Federal Government, giving it full credit for the imait sin cere and anxious desire for the maintenance of neutrality, to restrain the r nterpriser, iudividual or combiled, of its ac thre, energetic, but not remarkably sulenissixe or obedient, stihjects. We observe that Mr. M'Keneie, the hero of Toronto, war invited to be present at the m, , e .i n g to which we have just alluded. lie excused himself from personal atteadance, but, in compensation, intimated to the Butir..!o advocates rind abetters of Canadian insurrcc- Con, that they might find a guide to deliberation and a ction through the speeches of certain American orators on the iudependence of Greece.

The rebels on the approach of her Majesty's troops abandoned their position and dispersed, leaving the arms and ammunition which they had collected in the villne. Colonel Gore, being, informed that the principal leaders of the rebels had retired to St. Hyacinthe, marched to that town, by St. Charier, on the 4th instant, but on ascertaining that \Volford Nelson, Papine:iu, and the other leaders of the re volt, had,made their escape, he returned to St. Charles. It appears, from the report of Col. Gore, which is annexed, that the habitats in the neighbourhood of St. Hyacinthe have returned to their homes, and I am persuaded that the march of the troops through that part of the country has already produced a good effect. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) J. COLBORNE, Lieut.-Gen. Major-Gen. the Right Hon. Lord Fitzroy So:nerset, &c. &c. &c. (Copy.) Montreal, Dec. 7, 1837. have the honour to report that I arrived at Sorel on Thursday evening, Nov. 30, with the force under my com rnand•. On the morning of Dec. 1, I attempted to breakthrough the ice in the Richelieu, with the steam boat John Bull, but on proceeding a mile, found it impracticable, when I landed ;nd proceeded to St. Ours, where I haltod for the night, and proceeded on the following morning on the road to St. Dcnis, which I entered without opposition, that place having been abandoned the night before. The property of the rebel \Volford Nelson was, in the ccurse of the day and next morning, destroyed, and also the fortified house and all time defences. On the morning of the 4th I marched on Saint Charles, where I arrived et noon, with five companies and two guns, having left at St. Denis, three companies and one gun, under Major Reid, 3.2 d regiment. Having received information that some of the rebel chiefs were at St. Hyacinthe, I imme diately proceeded, according to your Excellency's orders, to that place, which I entered in the evening ; and surrounding the house where Papinnu usually resided, at that place, it was strictly searched, but without finding him. I was accompanied by Mon. Crenier, the Parish Priest, who gave me every information in hip power ; and, I am happy to sa y, that it is his opinion that the habitans now begin to see their folly, and that they have been gros3ly misled. They have returned to their homes in the whole of the counties between the Richelieu and the Yamaska, and gave every as sistance required for transport. I halted the troops on the 4th at St. Hvacinthe. The Cure called art Assembly of the principal inhabitants and the habitans ; he addressed them with great eloquence, show- i n g the selfish designs of their leaders; the folly of being led by them from their allegiance, exhorted them to continue in th•ir homes and assist in arresting the rebel chiefs, and which they promised to do. I returned to St. Charles in th ! evenin, directing the forco at St. H ) leinthe to return n'xt day ; two companies of the t' 4 3d to occupy St. Charles with one gun ; three companies and one gun at St. Donis, with a detachment at St. Ours, an d, taking the remainder of the force, four companies of the 3 0,1, Arad a howitzer, I returned to Sorel, and arrived here this forenoon at eleven o'clock. This operation has produced the best effect possible—it has opened the eyes of the habitans in these populous districts, where the influence of the rebel leaders was great, and shown the habitans her Majesty's troops, where their presence was least expected. The howitzer, which was left on the road, was recovered. An iron gun taken, and considerable quantities of arms and ammunition found at St. Denis, were destroyed. I have, &c., (Signed) CHARLES GORE, Colonel. Lieutenant- Colonel Sir John Colborne, K. C. B.

W, COVYLEIT, Esq. at Burcott, in the parish of Wing, in the county of Bucks, on view of Thomas Adams, aged 60, a highly-respectable farmer, who was found in a detiched cow-house upon his farm, under some trusses of hay, w jib his head and skull most dreadfully shat tered by the contents of a gun. The inquiry lasted from Saturday till Wednesday morning last. Thomas Worster had worked for deceased nine )cars; that about 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon he was in a field ad joining the cowhouse. Saw deceased and his son William in the turnip field about half-past three. Deceased's sun came to him, and said he and his father had dressed the sheep in the cow house, turned them into the rickyard adjoining, and fed them, and that he (WGrster) need not go to them. About a quarter of an hour after the son came to him agkin, and said the sheep would not lie, and he had turned them out in the field ; it was witness's place to look after the sheep ; on the following day (Friday), about seven o'clock in the evening, the son came to witness's house, and said, " If I can't get some one to swear that they saw my father and I part at the top of the turnip field lam done." Witness replied, " Lord have mercy upon me, you don't say so." Edgar Odey, surgeon, examined the body of the deceased, and found a great portion of the skull carried away ; that a hole appeared at the back part of the hat about the size of half-a-crown ; that he found several shots and a pasteboard eun pellet in the skull ; that he had no doubt the injuries were produced by the discharge of some fire-arms; that the muzzle must have been within a foot of deceased's head : that it was impossible for deceased to have inflicted the wound. himself. William Judge--Was an intimate acquaintance of deceased's sun, William. On Thursday afternoon, about a quarter-past few-, he was returning from Wing to Burcott. Met deceased's son, William, in Burcott. He said he was going to Wing, and asked witness to turn back, which he did ; they first went to the Queen's Head public-house at Wing. Had two pints of beer. Did not stay more than five minutes. Next went to the Cock public-house in the same place. Had a glass of rum each. Stopped there about five minutes. Then both returned back to Burcott ; from the latter place to Wing is about one mile. Witness assisted in searching for deceased. The cowhouse was the last place proposed by deceased's son William to be searched. Deceased and his son frequently quarrelled. The latter was very liberal. Often stayed at pubic-houses till two or three o'clock in the morning, and danced with females of ill-fame. Samuel Perkins was a police sergeant stationed at Ayles bury ; that on Friday last be was requested to attend at bur cot, for the purpose of investigating the affair; that after mak• ing certain inquiries Le suspected the son William to be con cerned ; that he told him so about half-past six o'clock that evening ; that shortly Ater (the same evening) when he had determined to take him into custody, he was not to be found ; that ;s he was inquiring at a public-house in Burcott he saw two perceis talking in the road about thirty yards off, tint v‘ll.ll he got within six yards of there, they ran away ; ho soon overtook them, and found deceasnd's sou 'William was one ; he took him into custody, who has since admitted that he know his father had 601. in his pocket when he left him in the field, that ho left his father at the cow-house the previous after noon about half past three o'clock ; that on Id 3 person he (wit ness) found a handkerchief which appeared to have been washed in cold water, which bore stains of blood. He also found a gun pillet and a pellet punch, the latter exactly fitted the one found in deceased's head. The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against the son William "against the son William, who was forthwith conveyed to Aylesbury gaol to take his trial at the ensuing March Assizes. CAUTION TO COFFEE-HOUSE AND HOTEL KEEPERS. —Coffee-house keepers cannot be too much on their guard at present against some fellows, having the appearAnce of gentlemen, who arc making a practice of visiting the most respect.ble of ,these houses for the purpose of picking up papers, publications, or any other article which they can coo vcniently appropriate. One of that fraternity, a fellow named Jones, went the other day into Pamphilon's Coffee-house, and was caught in the act of helping himself to suite of the news papers ; the proprietor contented himself with kicking the paltry thief out of the house ; but we would recommend that in future any one caught in such a contemptible act should be prosecuted. The Carbridle Gazette of the 29th ult. states that it was believed is Vienna that the Archduke Stephen would marry the Graod Duchess Mary, daughter of the Emperor Nicholas. The Duchess Louisa, consort of Duke Maximilian, of Bavaria, gave birth to a Princess on the 25th ❑lt. SILVER EDGED PLATED DISHES T.
